During the examination of the plaintiff the following passages were read from the love letters: —" So now for your l«tter, pet. So, love, you were rather surprised to receive my photo. Well, Aggie, 1 think it is like, if not a flattering likeness; but, dear, you know good looking people never take really well. Now, don't laugh I Tell your mother from ine that I don't care what sho thinks, of the likeueas as long as my own girl is pleased with it. I shall have mine taken at ColhVs in a day or two, when I shall send you another, No, pot, I think it will 1)b better to kiss the photo than the mark, even if you kiss me all away but tinsel; if you do that there is no danger of kissing away the original. Now, don't blush! Moro P. 0." '" Yes, pet, by all means kiss ,i,t, 'again, just- as 1 am doing to your likeness this afternoon, which is before me as I am writing. 1 sing and say to myself:" Oh, if I only had the dear girl herself so close to me what a fond kiss' I would imprint on that pretty cheek." Ah, love, does the very thought make you blush ?" ' " Yes, pet, lam an old course lam jotting old) spooney, but they Bay an old spoon is the worst of spoons. But who could help spoonint; with an old girl as you,' love 1 Not me, anyhow. Now, don't laugh, Yes, ill for want of a spoon, Aggie, it's a bad case, L know, but I "can't-Kelpit;bo don't laugh at me my pet. Yeß, get rid of your cold, Aggie, before you come, because you might givo it to, mo. I don't want a real cold, •! want a good spooning cold, with your aim round my neck instead of a piece of rod flannel lYos; that's what's the matter, without further explanation. . . ." " 1 am beginning to think love, that you are l tremendously in love.' Yes; I think you have said miougli for a big girl in love, Aggie. Now, a nice spoony letter next mail, I'll take no excuso, love, whatever. More love and xx ob, Agtrio." " Opinions of the Press on kissing ia vory good; but I have soon it before, This is iny opinion. I think Jaoob caught Rachel kissing some other chap, and that's what he was crying about; or that her father caught him kisaing Rachel, and ho helped him over the garden wall; or when he asked her to go for a walk she told him she could not aB sho had Sussie's hatto trim. Don't laugh, pet , . ." , Plaintiff deposed that defendant was employed in a newspaper office. The following questions were put : Have you called upon him to fulfil hia promise!— Yes. And he has refused I-Yes. What oxoubb did .he give for breaking it off?— Because he loved another.--(Laughter, and cries of "Silonco in Court.") Have you been vary much heartbroken over it ? —Well, of courso I went to expense in preparing for our marriage. Yes; anything else'; How muoh do you estimate was spent hi preparing for your marriage?— Well, I never took noteß of what it cast me,

But an estimate in a round sum!—l think about £IOO wm ipsnt in preparations.

Surely all that will not be lost, will it f No; but I got things that were not needful for my life unless I w&i married. But they will come on again, wont they ?—That depends, your Honor; it ia not necessarily so. His Honor gave judgment for £IOO, with coßta.
